DEFECTIVE PLUMBING
Need of "a City Ordinance Comforting
More Power on the Health Officer.


1t will be remembered that the plumb
ing ordinance passed not long since by the
Board of Aldermen, was vetoed by the
mayor, in part because the ordinances
already existing were understood by him
to give to the health officer all the needed
power to abate nuisances arising from de
fective plumbing. This, it appears from
the following letter from the city attorney
to the health officer, is not the case.
BURLIsGTOH, Jan. 20, 1857.
DR.. j. II. Linstev,
Dear sir; Touching the Central House
block matter, | have found no reason to
change my opinion that no prosecution can
be maintained for refusal to obey your order
relative to the plumbing of the building
The health officer IN this city has no greater
right as to abatement OF nuisances, than are
given by law To the sclectmcn of towns
The statute only gives pOwer to selectmpn
When ihey deem Its exercise necessary for
the pubic hedith so long, therefore as de-
fectlvc pumoinV only affects the owner and
49, 0oHp"hu 81 nuIIdihg ~ Is apparent that 1t
sions of the law The selectmen of
towns ar" not authorized to take any
action out side the terms OF the statute. and
can not WA k lniO the house Of any citIzen
and direct the abatement OF any nuisance con-
hhei!o thdt house. un less its continuance
G.ld &c SAID to h yard the public health,
Inc heath officer has greater authority
a householder l. l., rmtlcd to cnjo, his own
Stenches, so lOng as his .ueighDOrs are not at
fec ca thereby.
IL viii be Observed that under this state of
things, the health officer Is pOwerlesS to cor
7, ct the evils of defective plumbing without
an Ordlunncc granting such powers.
Youls, etc, W. l.. BURNAP,
CITY Attorney.
This view of the legal status of the case
seems to call lmperatively for the passage
OF the plumbing ordinance. Whether, in
deed, the mayor would now insist on his
veto, since one main reason tor his dis
approval proves to have no legal fuunda-
ton seems doubtful; but if so, the A lder-
men would be clearly justified in passing
the bill over his veto. The trouble with
the private stenches, OF course, is that
they tend to breed typhoid fever and diph-
therla, with imminent risk that cases of
either may be multiplied by contagion
and the disease become epidemic. Against
TINS danger, most cities have seen tit to
guard by ordinances regulating plumbing
and comforting on proper officers the pow
ter TO abate nulSanCes, within houses.
Burlington evidently needs such protec-
ton.

AN ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL.


MIDDLEBURY, VT, Jan. ga cunning
and nearly successful attempt to escape
Jail was made here last evening by VIII
liam Doyle, sentenced on Monday to serve
four years in States prison for larceny,
with the assistance of his wife Mrs
Doyle has been to see her husband several
times since his incarceration and has been
permitted to talk with her husband
through the iron grated door in the side
OF the wooden crib. During these inter
views it appears that Boyle whitfield out
wooden pattern of the key and on Friday
MIRA Doyle took the pattern to Brandon
and got a key made. Yesterday Mrs.
Doyle called again and as usual was al
lowed TO see her husband, bnt Mrs Cobb,
the jailer's wife, was careful to leave the
doors connected with the kitchen open
and she soon heard sounds in the crib
which aroused her suspicion She found
Mrs. Doyle and her husband just at the
point of opening the door with the false
key which fitted the lock all right. Mrs.
Doyle was detained until an officer ar
rived and was put under arrest. She told
Deputy Sheriff Rider that the key was
made by Jerry Tinnien, "A blacksmith in
Brandon. States Attorney Wilds issued
a warrant for Tinnien's arrest and Deputy
Rider brought him here late last night
Tinnien, in all probability, is innocent, as
Mrs. Doyle acknowledges she deceived
him AS to the object in getting the key
made, saying she wanted II to open an
old chest lett her by her mother and Tin
MEN ana his workman tell the same
story, Tinnien was permitted to go
where he liked to-day, but will be used AS
a witness against Mrs. Doyle. She Will
have hearing at O'Clock to morrow

rather comely young woman, % years of
age, She was unrepresented by counsel.
After II portion of the testimony bad been
taken Mrs. Doyle waived examination,
but virtually admitted the truth of the
charge. She said that she supposed u
wife was usually obliged TO obey her hus-
band, and that she had done so in this
matter. Mrs, Doyle Is with child, and
considering all the circumstances States
Attorney Wilds suggested that she be adj
mitted TO bail on her own recoguIzance,
which was done, Justice Knapp fixing the
amount of the bail at 1900 Mrs. Doyle
